Abstract
In a prospective study, several noninvasive methods were evaluated in the early detection of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angi oplasty in peripheral arteries. Sensitivity and specificity of various noninvasive resting and exercise methods for the detection of resteno sis were determined. It is concluded that noninvasive follow-up after percutaneous Angioplasty transluminal angioplasty in peripheral arteri es requires exercise testing with determination of ankle-arm index or segmental arterial pulse oscillography for the early detection of rest enosis.
